2AB
✓
Answer
Given: AB= 7.5cm and CD = 2.5cm Draw AB and CD
Draw a line l and take a point E on it. Now a take a divider and open it such that the ends of both its arms are at A and B. Then, we lift the divider and place its one end at E and other end (say F) on the line l as shown in the figure. Again, lift the divider and place its one end F and other end on the line l, opposite to E. Let this point be G. EG is required line segment, whose length is equal to 2AB.
